\n President Trump has authorized federal law enforcement officials to arrest anyone caught vandalizing or tearing down monuments amid a wave of confederate and other statues being toppled by people protesting racial injustice.<\/p>\n

The commander-in-chief wrote in a tweet early Tuesday morning, \u201cI have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran\u2019s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump warned those protesting that the order will be \u201ceffective immedia<\/a>tely, but may also be used retroactively for destruction or vandalism already caused. There will be no exceptions!\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision comes as monuments of historic figures across the country and cities abroad have been targeted during the civil unrest over the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man.<\/p>\n

Officials across the country have promised to reevaluate their monuments, in some cases pledging to take them down outright. Despite this, some protesters have taken it upon themselves to either severely vandalize or tear down statues they consider controversial.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fox News<\/a> Tuesday morning, President Trump discussed his thoughts on the matter, denouncing those who were attacking the statues.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like it at all, I don\u2019t like it at all. I don\u2019t like anything that\u2019s going on. Now federal I\u2019ve stopped, I\u2019ve stopped federal. But the states are \u2014 a lot of states are weak, a lot of people are weak, and they\u2019re allowing it to happ<\/a>en,\u201d the president told the network in an Oval Office interview.<\/p>\n

Trump went on to rail against efforts to take down the statues of Mahatma Gandhi and Ulysses S. Grant, specifically.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to understand history, you have to understand the culture and so many other aspects of our country,\u201d Trump added, \u201cAnd people can study [slavery] and they can hate it, and let\u2019s all hate it, but you can\u2019t take down George Washington\u2019s statue. And half of our country is named after Washington. We have to remember the heritage- the culture of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fox News Monday evening, the commander-in-chief pledged to sign an executive order on the matter, which would force cities to guard the monuments.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see Ulysses S. Grant, where they want to take him down. He\u2019s the one that stopped the ones that everybody dislikes so much. It\u2019s a disgrace. Also, remember, some of this is great artwork, this is magnificent artwork, as good as there is anywhere in the world. As good as you see in France. As good as you see anywhere. It\u2019s a disgrace,\u201d he told the network.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
